You asked

how does the new testament echo or reframe this idea of strength through waiting?

The passage, plainly, with room to sit with it.

Isaiah 40:31

but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

This verse comes from the prophet Isaiah, writing to a people in exile, disheartened and questioning God's power and presence. He offers comfort and a vision of future hope, reminding them that God's strength is inexhaustible.

What does waiting for God mean for how you approach life's challenges?
